Audio Software Goodies

[filkertom]

It's been awhile since I've mentioned this, and there are some very, very nifty things popping up:

• True Pianos is finally going to be announced soon. I've been waiting for this for months. (If you've forgotten why this is gonna be so cool, here's a video reminder.)
• Studio Cat is having a group buy for their Reverb Tools IR, a bunch of tremendous pro-level Impulse Responses for convolution reverb plugins. (Note! It is not itself a reverb plugin.) It's normally $49, now $20 until Jan. 28.
• Semuta is a bizarre and wonderful audio toy for Mac and PC. I can't really describe it, but... there's a button on the lower right that looks like a screw head; it's the toggle for the help function, and once it's on a mouseover displays what any given feature is. The "screw" in the upper right exits the program.

Anything new on your musical horizon?

Mostly I'm still dithering over whether I'd get more mileage out of a better class of "DAW" (and associated toys) or just from working harder on improving with the (budget-level) stuff I already have. But since you've opened the subject of music tech, I'd like to pimp for The Recording Project (http://www.recordingproject.com/bbs/). (I have no vested interest; I just find it a neat place to learn things.)

Absolutely. And similarly pimpable are the KVR Wiki (http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/), diyAudio.com Wiki (http://www.diyaudio.com/wiki/), and Wikipedia's category for Audio Engineering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Audio_engineering).
